Aftermarket Wheels

[Pacific Wheel]

Any word on those and the MR705s in different colors (+25)?

Only the black is in transit. Grey should be coming shortly after.

Thanks! I’m looking into the black rhino sprocket in the 17x9.5 +6mm offset

This is exactly what I’m looking at right now for my 2018 Raptor. I have stock suspension and new BFG KO2’s 315/70/17 in C load rating ready to go on. I’m not the biggest fan of the stock 17” wheels.

Did you end up getting these and do you have any issues?

I like the Black best. I was going to ask if any guys are just running front oversized fenders, and keeping rears as is.

I’m noticing a wheel load rating of most aftermarket wheels between 2200lbs - 2500lbs. Is there a threshold that is technically “unsafe”? I’m going to assume major wheel manufacturers understand load rating and wouldn’t produce a wheel thats unsafe..... Figured the knowledge base here would know for sure.

The minimum load rating you should have is half of the GAWR of the lowest axle you have.

So if the front GAWR is 3450lb and the rear GAWR is 4150lb, the lightest load rating you can safely have is 1725lb which is half of the front GAWR.

I have these coming. As close to stock as I could find. 17X8.5 +18 offset 87.1 Bore
Will only bump me out 1/2". Should look good on my Leadfoot

I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm really liking the look on the new Gen 3 Shelby Raptor.... the wheels, the stance, the additional power(finally something performance added in a Shelby Raptor), and everything looks better. I can do without the chase rack. I'd definitely prefer it in Black, or if they brought back Kona Blue metallic with Flat Black stripes, I'm all in........it just speaks to me! I think these might be Shelby brand wheels.....Much better than the ones Shelby put on their Gen 2 "Baja" edition trucks.
